d = 2.3 * P for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
where P is the power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according
to information from the manufactur‐
er of the transmitter, and d is the
recommended safe distance in me‐
tres (m).
The field intensity of stationary ra‐
dio transmitters should, at all fre‐

Note:
The higher frequency range is applicable at 80 MHz und 800 MHz.
a
The field intensity of stationary transmitters such as the base stations of radio
telephones and mobile land radio devices, amateur radio stations, AM and FM
broadcasting services or television transmitters cannot, in theory, be determined
precisely in advance. To determine the electromagnetic environment in respect of
stationary transmitters, a study of the location should be considered.
If the measured field intensity at the location in which In eXam is being used exceeds
the compliance level above, care should be taken with In eXam to ensure that it is
functioning in accordance with regulations. If unusual performance features are no‐
ted, additional measures may be required, such as changing the alignment or
moving In eXam somewhere else.

The field intensity should be less than 3 V/m over the frequency range 150 kHz to

In eXam is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which HF distur‐

magnetic disturbances by complying with the minimum distance between portable
and mobile HF telecommunications equipment (transmitters) and In eXam, depen‐

3.7 Determination of the patient's X-ray exposure
3.7.1 Exposure diagram
The adjacent diagram directly shows what is known as the Kerma in mGy for the
focus-skin distance (FSD) of 20 cm for the corresponding exposure time, which is
displayed after exposure.
Note
Exposure is measured in units of Gray. For dental applications, the conversion
factor of the technical unit Gray to a dose in Sievert is 1.
Note
If the focus-skin distance changes during exposure, the read amount needs to be
corrected by the distance law.
Note
Exposure by the read-off value relates to the area irradiated by the X-ray, and so
it is necessary to record whether the normal radiation field of the cone of 60 mm
diameter or the reduced radiation field of radiation field limitation

4 Operation
Note
The description of how to operate the KaVo In eXam applies to both sensors and
films.
Note
A visible laser beam can be switched on to highlight the X-ray's central beam.
Avoidable exposure to radiation.

An individual could fall ill as a result of receiving an excessive dose of X-ray.
▶ Provide patient protection measures (such as lead-lined collars)
CAUTION
▶ Take operator protection measures, such as applying the distance law, or using
screens during X-ray exposure
▶ Monitor the patient before and during X-ray exposure; if necessary, abort the
X-ray procedure and start again
Danger due to deviation from the defined focus-skin distance

Not maintaining the specified focus-skin distance (i.e. skin surface too close to
focus) can lead to unnecessary overexposure to radiation.
CAUTION
▶ Before using the machine, attach the transparent cone (which is detachable for
disinfection purposes) to make sure that the correct focus-skin distance is
maintained during the X-ray prodedure.
